srcu: Prevent cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing non-dynamic ->sda

Browse source

When an srcu_struct structure is created (but not in a kernel module)
by DEFINE_SRCU() and friends, the per-CPU srcu_data structure is
statically allocated.  In all other cases, that structure is obtained
from alloc_percpu(), in which case cleanup_srcu_struct() must invoke
free_percpu() on the resulting ->sda pointer in the srcu_struct pointer.

Which it does.

Except that it also invokes free_percpu() on the ->sda pointer
referencing the statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures.
Which free_percpu() is surprisingly OK with.

This commit nevertheless stops cleanup_srcu_struct() from freeing
statically allocated per-CPU srcu_data structures.
